Looks great so far! What are you using for a reference?

[MarkJTaylor]

[KOlson]

Would love to see wireframes of the progress, past and future. :)

[MarkJTaylor]

[KOlson]

Excellent, looking forward to them! :)

[Kuzey]

Spooky!!

Great work so far..keep them coming.

And an early 'fester' render...

[KOlson]

Ooooh, I'm liking it. The early render does look a bit like Fester heh. :)

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[KOlson]

Coming along nicely!! Do you have a side profile shot? :)

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Remi]

Looks great...only thing I would say is that the ears look a little thick...unless you're going for a slightly stylized look I would thin them out a bit...great job:)

[KOlson]

Great. :) Only thing that bothers me is the crease on the upper part of the nostril on the side of the nose right where it meets the tip seems a bit to dramatic?

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Castius]

can't wait to see that in motion

[JDaniel]

I like it! Yeah! :cool:

[phil lawson]

MMuuhhhaahaahaahaa /end evil freddy laugh :). Top stuff, just watched the first one the other night. Looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Mark,

Looking very good so far - I've actually modelled Freddy myself (but yours will end up being miles better than mine I think!).

One thing I have to say is the ears, or rather the tops of them - you need to deform them more, as if some has been bitten away - they're way too round and human right now.

Love the nose - spot on. Not sure about the extra squarishness you've put on the skull though...

You've got the proportions of the face right too - you can definately see a little of Robert Englund there.

Have you modelled his fingerknives yet? If so, could you give me some pointers (ohh, sorry about that - the pun really wasn't intended!)

Keep posting with updates!!!

Adrian.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[thekho]

Very great work! :) but I agree with people about your ears.

I love freddy's films :D

I'll looking forward to see you updates.

Keep it great work!

[MarkJTaylor]

[pandoz]

GOOD LUCK! That is an awesome model, I agree with one of the posts above. I can't wait to see it in motion and complete!

[adrian]

Whoa, you're actually MODELLING the burnt flesh!!! I used 40 layers of texture/bumps.

When your model is textured it's going to look awesome. Well it looks awesome now, but you know what I mean....

I don't want to distract you from your modelling time, but how are you going about putting in all that detail without totally screwing up the mesh?

BTW I love the way you have accurately blended his ears into his head to give it that melted look. Perfect. How did you do that? Hmm, I realise that's an impossible question to answer with a few words, so just get on with it!!!!!!!

I just wish I could see a video of you modelling him, like Dan Ablan does with his 3d garage stuff.

Adrian.

[adrian]

Mark,

One thing I meant to say in my last post.... do you have the DVD set or video set? The reason I ask is that with the DVD set there is a booklet with several close-ups of his face at various different angles.

If you don't have them then I can scan them in for you and email them to you if it's any help...

I also have a book with a few good pictures in - if you want any reference material just let me know. They're all black and white but still good quality.

Adrian.

[xtrm3d]

whooaaa..
look with every update better..i am really impatient to see the first
textured rendering test !!! :D

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Matt]

gonna look sh!t hot when it's textured!!!

:)

[JDaniel]

Open gl is cruel and not exactly accurate. The render is all that matters. ;)

[Matt]

just too damn cool that model!

[Tosk]

Incredible... i'll wait the tutorial and hope to be able to complete it...

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[KOlson]

Amazing! :) The progress you've made is excellent.

[Hurben]

Unbelievable!
I love the way you've modelled the burnt flesh and then blended it into his head. You must be really getting in there with your points.

Curiosity: Which modelling tools do you find yourself using most?

[starbase1]

Wow! The side views really make MY skin crawl! That's pretty neat for something unfinished and untextured!

[Boot Guy Joe]

That looks awesome man. Great job, seriously, I not only can't wait to see this done, but also your next model as well. :) Killer job. :cool:

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Tosk]

it seems a little waxy :-)
for the hat try to make the poly edges not sharp but soft, i remember that there is an option..

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Boot Guy Joe]

I think his face was a little more on the pinkish side. :)

[Tosk]

I think it needs a specularity map.
Probably it would be better if the "plagued" skin is glossy and the intact skin is more opaque and also less bumpy.. (those microbumps)

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[JDaniel]

Matt, using a negative on the spec. will give a felt look. Start w/ -20 and a low gloss.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[[hjd_uk]]

The texturing needs to follow the scars and lines of his face - the "pits" and gaps in his skin are red exposed flesh but the rest is normal skin. At the moment the un-coordinated texture is destroying all that work you put into modelling his face. Id hate for all your good work to go to waste.

[JDaniel]

Mark. :o

[Remi]

Waiting for the update....*whistles*..:)

[onslaught]

Great job, looking forward forl the update.

[pixelranger]

WOW! I can't believe I didn't see this until now. Excellent work, Mark!! Very inspiring. Looking forward to see the next texture updates. Freddy ROX!!

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Matt]

excellent!

the souls of the children give you strength!!! ;)

[KOlson]

The progress you've made in such a short time is incredible. Looking forward to the next update. :)

[X PsychoTron X]

:eek: Looks great man! I can't wait to see the finished product. http://vbulletin.newtek.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[sKb875]

Looks so sweeeeet! It's also CRAZY realistic!!!
Are you gonna make the whole body or just the face?

[Tosk]

mm strange, with this texture setup the skin seem to be flat and not modeled, it seem to be only a texture.. it has lost something.

For me the skin is still to shiny.. no advices, dunno what to think but regardless the beauty of the texture it is not still good.. :-/

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[adrian]

Mark,

I think the skin needs more ***** yellow (depending on which Freddy you're going for) - but the texture is coming along great.

Adrian.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Tosk]

Mutch better now!!
Keep it up :-)

[adrian]

Now *that* is good!!!!! (Although don't like his eyes though - sorry!).

Looking forward to the updates...

BTW is your tutorial only going to appear in Keyframe mag? How about 3dWorld?

I'm sure they'd be interested and it's much more accessible via stores (having been burnt once before I am now loathed to subscribe to a magazine via the web)

Adrian.

[riki]

Mmm serious skin condition there, try 'Oil of Olay' :)

[hrgiger]

Yeah, the eyes are a bit strange. Do they have any diffuse on them, they're pretty stark.

It looks like he just picked that hat up from the tailor because it looks brand new.

Otherwise looking good.

[Matt]

looking good mark! well, as good as you can look when your face is all burnt!!!

two comments though - I agree the eyes are the weakest link at the moment, also I remember freddy having more of the pinkish skin than the red, too much red makes it look like he's bleeding as appose to charred skin.

[ctg23]

This looks great!! It just gets better everytime.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[Matt]

Ooooooh the infamous glove, that's gonna be a fun part to do!

[sammael]

nice... great work! :)

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[ctg23]

The whole thing is awesome it is just a little dark to me though

[MarkJTaylor]

..

[Matt]

I agree, had to take it into Photoshop to brighten it to see it!

[adrian]

Mark,

The skin and texture is awesome - I think you're there.

I still don't like the eyes though, they look too.... I don't know - flat - as if there's nothing *behind* them if you know what I mean. They don't look like they're the gateway to evil!

I'm probably getting a bit ahead here and I'm sure you're well aware anyway, but don't forget to add bits of fluff/torn cloth on the extremities of his sweater, which as far as I can remember wasn't tucked in.

Are you using Deep Paint (or another tool) for the texturing/bump mapping or LW?

Anyway this is a world class piece of work - apart from those eyes. Sorry to be so scathing but I thought it best to be honest.

Adrian.

[MarkJTaylor]

.

[JDaniel]

His head seems to be slightly(5-10%) too big on that body. Neck size is good though. Eyes too white.
Are you going too rip his clothes up?

[adrian]

Mark,

It could be that you're working from a different version, but I think the knives are way too straight. Take a look:

But it maybe that we're working from different versions... anyhow the glove is great, will look good when it's on him!

Adrian.

[MarkJTaylor]

[MarkJTaylor]

[JDaniel]

Cool. Need to break? I understand that! His head looks a little too big for his body Mark. Am I the only one to see this?

[dablan]

Mark has done a great job on this model!
Nice work!

I'm going to put a tutorial in the next issue of Keyframe Magazine, where Mark will highlight the process he used for modeling and texturing.

Great job! That skin is looking amazing now.
Can't wait to see your next update.

[dablan]

Rigging in Modeler is no big deal with Skelegons.

Sent him to me. I'll do it.

Dan

[KOlson]

Looking great, can;t wait to see him in action :)

[SplineGod]

Mark that is just GREAT work. You should be very proud. :)
I appreciated the PM too BTW. :)

[richpr]

Amazing model! *****

[KOlson]

I'm anxious to take a look at this model.. have you gotten a better host yet mark? :)

[ptaverner]

I'll bet modeling this was a real nightmare! ;)

Great job. Very realistic!


Peter

[policarpo]

where did all the images go?

what happened?

[JDaniel]

Did Mark leave? His avatar title says "apologies", and everything has been deleted. :confused:

[policarpo]

well that's just weird.

why did he remove all those images he worked so long and hard on?

they looked great.

[Mclaren]

Maybe he didn't remove them, maybe theres some conspiracy or coverup going on here. Makes you wonder. *dramatic camera pan to sky (x-files themesong in the background)*

[policarpo]

heheheh....

"move along. these aren't the droids you are looking for.":p

[Matt]

What's happened to Mark? Did someone upset him? Very odd . . .

[hrgiger]

Hmmm, Dan Ablan said something about them doing a tutorial for the freddy head from Mark for Keyframe magazine. Perhaps it has something to do with that?

[policarpo]

Hrmmmm...my brain is in overdrive at the moment...i'm feeling queesy.:(

[xtrm3d]

huummmm...
keep care of your brain policarpo....is too presssscccchhhiiiiousss to be wasted cause of this " small " thing
this issue .. would be soon cleared and exposed..

Due to the recent revelations, we're not doing the Freddy model article.

[Kuzey]

:mad: :mad:

[peekoot]

freddy kruger WIP and angelina jolie WIP will continue... because i did them... we are resolving issue as i speak...

i did modeling on freddy (head only) and uvs... i didn't do the textures...

search on cgtalk for angelina and freddy wips.. but i'll continue it somewhere in october...

what is done by now will be posted soon enough...

cheers...


ps

you don't have to go by lynch mob on cgtalk... mark did wrong and for that he's off 3d scene... i think it's more than enough...

[Kuzey]

Peekoot, it's good to have you here.

I'm looking forward to seeing those "real" updates;)

Kuzey

[robpauza]

Another disappointing day. Who's next? :(


Hey Dan,

Maybe now there's room for an article on MY "Freddie" model. Its resemblance to both Mark & Peekoot's models is uncanny. (just kidding) :)


Peekoot:
I'm glad you're finally getting credit for your hard work.

-Rob

[peekoot]

thanks... :)

it will maybe come as a dissapointment... but models are done in max... ;)

[robpauza]

I'm sorry Peekoot, but you'll have to leave now. :)

(I'm looking forward to seeing more of your great work)

-Rob

[peekoot]

yeah?! well ok... i guess this community will suffer a loss then... ;)

[robpauza]

hehe. :) Take care.

how does that make you feel now?

[peekoot]

heh... :\

i'll talk to mark... there's probably more of that...

and the model isn't even finished... still missing lot of things...

gonna be pretty cool when i finish it... i plan some facial expression too.. and that will be the thing that will make him freddy kruger... :)

[thekho]

wow... i'm shocked this mark's not his work. I thought he's very good artist when he showing his freddy until i found out thats he stolens Jonny (Kreitn), Xtrm3d and peekoot's works. Mark should be banning right now cos he know nothing about 3d.

Hey, peektoot. I'm sorry thats happens to you. I hope u okay. I'm looking forward to your update and I love your freddy which look cool :)

[peekoot]

yeah... i'm ok... but there will be no freddy updates untill i finish my obligations and upgrade hardware...

both will happen somewhere in mid october... so what i can say....

stay tuned... :)
